How Much is enough

I really want to know how much is enough. How many men and women are going to have to die in Iraq before we give up? What we are doing isn't working, it's never going to work, so let's cut our losses and let them blow each other up. I don't want to lose any childhood friends and I certainly do not want to see the draft re-instituted to make up for the numbers of soldiers who died for a cause no one really believes in anyway. Did we not learn anything from the Korean and Vietnam wars? We really should mind our own business and let the United Nations do it's job. I honestly believe that America should learn to talk first and shoot second. Just because we have a huge arsenal of weapons doesn't mean that we should use them on who ever, when ever, where ever. When I hear about American bombs accidentally landing on a school or hospital, it makes me feel ashamed to be an American. Little children deserve to learn and recover from illnesses in peace and quiet, not a war zone. I honestly beleive that there are reasons for fighting, but just to boost the economy and to try and bring credit to two ill-gotten presidential terms is not one of them. May be I am out of line to some people, but the beauty of the first amendment is that I have the right to say what I wish without the fear of penalties. If you really don't like what I have to say, tough cheese, read something else.
